n00b Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi, just had a stone try to get in through the windscreen while joining the M6. rang up the insurance company and the RAC are going to change it on thursday... thing is they say they only have a blue windscreen with a sunstrip..... Is this correct as my old windscreen is clear with no sunstrip at all... is it the right one? is it a uk vs jspec thing? Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i believe it should actually be a green strip if yours is jpec mate... they're all clear though lol it should still fit okay if you're not fussed about the colour of the strip....just make sure they use the correct sealant from Toyota though.

supRo Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 There are 4 types of Windscreens. The Green strip windscreen seems to be common on the Hardtop Jap spec cars I have the Green top tint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 n00b! Yours does have the green top tint!! I just looked at you garage pics and used the Microsoft magnifier utility! You seem to have the green top tint! Look at the center where the rear view mirror is.... Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro whoops... so i do ... i think the fella explaining it as blue with a tint at the top made it a little confusing thanks Ro Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double check when you look at the car though. Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Having gone through this.....unless you are not fussed with what screen they fit, best to ring Toyota Parts, quote your model / frame number, get the right part number and stock status. Pass this on to RAC / Autoglass whoever, and insist they use the right one. Chances are they would have to go through Toyota anyway, but not guaranteed. Also as suggested previously, insist on genuine sealing strips etc. too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 This thread has links to the part numbers, but you're best giving RAC the VIN number and letting them get the correct one from Toyota. Be prepared to wait a while though - they'll probably have to ship it in from Japan. Don't worry, apparently the windscreen won't cave in on you.
